Kangaroo Zoo

Last night we went to a birthday party at Kangaroo Zoo in Pleasant Grove. It was a blast! It is just like Bouncin off the Walls but is about 3 times as big. It is definitely a must and worth the travel South. Check it out

Rainy days in St. George

We spent the weekend in St. George for Bart do the Camp Linda training. It pretty much rained all weekend with a dry spell on Saturday afternoon. It was fun for all the cousins to play together. They had tons of fun in the indoor swimming pool at the hotel. The only trick was trying to find things to do in the rain!

So where did we end up? The play place at Old McDonalds of course!

St. George has a great paved trail system.

Thanks goodness for Grandmas!

All in all the weekend was good. I was even able to get some "ME" time in. With a swim (in a 15 meter, 3' pool--which I do not recommend), a bike ride with Bart, a run (with my new shoes & new tunes) and a pedicure.

We even finished off the trip with some delicious eats!

you can't beat NEW running shoes

Eva is REALLY into running. She sets up running "races" all over the house. We went for a walk on Sunday morning & she ended up running for about 1/2 mile . . . in her snow boots. So I decided it was time to get her some real running shoes. We headed up to the outlets this morning & found these cute little numbers at the Adidas outlet. She absolutly LOVES them! I also scored some new shoes a couple of weeks ago & they are fabulous (ugly but awesome)!

So before dinner we headed out on our 1st run. She said "mommy I am going to run as fast as you or maybe even faster"! And she was right, she is pretty fast, she is even getting the arm movement down. During the middle of the run she stopped and said I have to make a quick phone call and then reached into the back pretend pocket of her jacket & pulled out her pretend phone and proceeded to call and check up on piggy pompado who was napping at home. I love that she picks up on EVERYTHING I do! Pretty soon she is going to be my racing partner.
She also loves to wear my hats & gloves!

Thursdays at the GATEWAY

I thought that kids didn't start going through the dreaded "awkward" stage until like 6th grade, but apparently our little cuties started last Thursday.

Yes, those are "kids size" chocolate milks. Lets just say they had to pee a lot after lunch.
We love going to The Counter for lunch and always trying something new. . . the Taco Turkey Burger was delightful!

The kids loved putting money in his guitar "holder" & dancing the afternoon away!
We love sunny winter days!

Baby Tanner

Another baby boy is added to the mix . . .
Tanner Bryan Gillespie

Lets wish him luck . . . he has three older sisters!

Last night was the cyclocross awards banquet.
See if you can guess the THEME:

Thats right! Nascar -- Trailer Trash!! No better place to have the party than the Rocky Mountain Raceway. We had way to much fun putting our outfits together. There is nothing like using a bottle of hairspray to get the perfect "poof" bangs & using an entire stick of black eye liner! I can't forget to mention that Bart grew his beard out for a LONG time just so he could have the perfect mustache to go with his mullet! Good times.
